              <p>
                App Inventor lets you develop applications for Android phones using a web browser and either a connected phone or emulator. The App Inventor servers store your work and help you keep track of your projects.
              </p>

              </div>
              <p>
                You build apps by working with:
              </p>
              <ul>
                <li>The <em>App Inventor Designer</em>, where you select the components for your app.
                </li>
                <li>The <em>App Inventor Blocks Editor</em>, where you assemble program blocks that specify how the components should behave. You assemble programs visually, fitting pieces together like pieces of a puzzle.
                </li>
              </ul>
              <p>
                Your app appears on the phone step-by-step as you add pieces to it, so you can test your work as you build. When you're done, you can package your app and produce a stand-alone application to install.
              </p>
              <p>
                If you don't have an Android phone, you can build your apps using the <em>Android emulator</em>, software that runs on your computer and behaves just like the phone.
              </p>
              <p>
                The App Inventor development environment is supported for Mac OS X, GNU/Linux, and Windows operating systems, and several popular Android phone models. Applications created with App Inventor can be installed on any Android phone. (See <a href="../../learn/whatis/requirements.html">system requirements</a>.)
              </p>
              <p>
                Before you can use App Inventor, you need to <a href="../../learn/setup/index.html">set up your computer</a> and install the <em>App Inventor Setup</em> package on your computer.
